I am going to repaint my mustang and want to paint it a non-oem color. I am just looking for ideas on a black that has a lot of depth to it, because I have always wanted it to be black.

And it'll be done right, panel-off paint job. Wont be cheap tho.

 

My brother has an 94 Acura Legend GS with Granada Black its the BEST looking OEM black i know of .

 

Subaru makes a bitchin one w/ gold flake in it!!

 

Range Rover Java Black Pearl has a nice slight metallic color.

 

What's wrong with Ford's black? It's classic, like a Model T.

 

Nothing wrong with it, just dont want a plain-jane color if I'm dropping $3k for a paint job.

 

My '97 is close to that color.. Flamenco Black Pearl...

A real bitch to keep clean, but worth it.

 

nighthawk black pearl

 

My Yamaha R6 has some flakes in it... it looks real nice.

 

Cosmos Black from BMW

 

GTO's have a nice metallic black. Just make sure you put a decent layer of clearcoat over it.

 

It seems to be more "purple" than the other Honda black paints from what I've noticed.

 

it's actually got blue flakes in it...

 

Interesting.. thanks.

 

subaru's black with the gold flakes, acura's nighthawk black pearl, and whatever black metalic they put on chrysler 300's (there's a lot of flake in it) are my votes...i like all three.

 

Java Black Pearl...you really need to see it up close. Pictures do it no justice.

 

If you get it painted a honda color, I hope it wont chip and swirl as easily as OEM paint jobs.

I think Mercedes has some damn good paint, not sure which color black I would go with though.

 

There is no better black out by any manufacturer right now IMO!!



another good option is porsches Slate Grey or Atlas Grey, just something to think about

 

If we're talking Porsche paint, I can't believe you didn't mention Basalt Black. That color his sweet. Though I'm with you on Slate Grey. That's my first choice (unless I get a GT3...when Speed Yellow is the only way to go).

 

Please ignore my swirls



Really the no picture does this paint justice

 

check out Java Black Pearl

 

That's it Joe, shit would look HOT!

 

anyone know if its a single stage or multi stage paint? That really affects the cost to paint.

 

single stage if i'm not mistaken, it was on par w/ price w/ Fords Dark Shadow Grey when I repainted my old car.

 

now that's nice

 

Damn that does look great!

 

yea it's hot, I convinced some first gen owner to do it after I sold him my old wheels, came out TITS!
